Handy Acronyms...

[McGreen]

So I have been searching for THE EAC thread for about an hour only to find out I can't access it until I'm a premium member... things that should have been mentioned an hour ago.

Oh I didn't expect you to mention the meaning or where the thread even was... just that when I finally found it I couldn't get in. Maybe that's part of the gag? Either way, I love this site!

Ladies and gentlemen of the forum,

I'm not trying to be an ass, but is there actually a concise list of home brewing relevant acronyms somewhere? Believe it or not, trying to wade through 18 pages of self-gratifying "wit" isn't as helpful to the new brewer as one might think.

If not, might one be added? If this thread is all there is, possibly consider removing it from the BBBF (Beginners Beer Brewing Forum)?
